Intersection of Ironwood, Douglas reopening December 5

SOUTH BEND, Ind. - The reopening of the intersection of Ironwood and Douglas roads is set for December 5, according to officials with St. Joseph County.

The intersection should be open my mid to late afternoon.

Some minor lane restrictions will still be in place through the winter because the final asphalt surface course will not be placed until next year.

A dedicated right turn only lane will be in place for eastbound Douglas turning south onto Ironwood until the remaining section of Douglas is completed.

This work includes a new bridge over Juday Creek, which is scheduled to begin in February or March of 2023.

A temporary no turn on red instruction will be in place for southbound Ironwood turning east onto Douglas.

Some work may be performed along Douglas Road this winter but it should not affect drivers.
